Dear our Donors!
We would like to inform you about our successive social skills group of children who have autism spectrum disorder or social communication difficulties and effectively participate in our program. We use the Hanen Program for Parents of Children with ASD, and we use valuable strategies for their children, including Hanen strategies, stone therapy, art therapy, brush therapy, visual tools and toys, visual schedule, and assistive technology.
We have a small classroom, six students with ASD and three therapists who have used the most effective strategies for their children, including Hanen strategies, visual tools and toys, and assistive technology.
The main goal of our program is making friends at different stages of child's development. We follow through all stages: the own agenda stage, the requester stage, the early communicator stage, and the partner stage helping our children to communicate and allow them to lead.
The main idea of our program is Let's Make Friends, and our focus is on child's ability to play with other children. It can take a long time to develop child's social skills and communication skills, however all therapists and family members have supported their children to make efforts in all activities. Every child needs to take small steps.
We would like to share with you our photos which can present you how our children participate in a social skills program having fun and developing their social skills.
A great big thank you to all our supporters, donors and families who have supported us to create the valuable placement and program for our special children who have needed to enjoy collaborative activities making the best interactions as well as the best friends.
